Impact Description | Results suggest that as atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration increases, nitrogen-fixing species, such as black alder (Alnus glutinosa), will be able to fix more atmospheric nitrogen. This will lead to an increase in nitrogen concentration (above current fixation rates) in leaves and, ultimately, in soils via leaf litter decomposition. |
